I want to thank the folks at the Encore Westerns Channel for picking up this great series. It is really a shame that Laredo only lasted two seasons, because this was a great show that combined action and humor. Although Neville Brand gets top billing in the opening credits, in my opinion, the real star of the show was Peter Brown as Chad Cooper. Pretty much all of the stories flowed through whatever Cooper was involved in. While, I liked Brown as Johnny McKay on Lawman, as Cooper he got to show a lot more range as an actor. I am not a fan of Neville Brand. I think he may have been what held the show back. I also thought they could have used the late great Phillip Carey much more than they did. William Smith did okay. He was never that great of an actor, but I guess the ladies liked it when he took his shirt off, and showed them all his muscles. This was a fun show overall, and definitely worth looking at further.
